Newsmax WRECKED By $67M Dominion Settlement

The settlement is from the defamation lawsuit that company filed against Newsmax following claims they made about the integrity and results of the 2020 presidential election. This is a settlement that is years overdue, and there are still many more left to deal with. Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins discusses this.

We actually have some good news this week, folks, as Dominion Voting Systems is about to get a hefty payday of $67 million in the form of a settlement check from Conservative Media Outlet, newsmax. Last week, although it was announced this week, Newsmax agreed to settle the defamation lawsuit brought against them by Dominion Voting Systems for $67 million, which includes an immediate two, uh, $20 million payment, or 27 million, I guess, and then 40 million over the next two years for a grand total of $67 million. Now, if you ask me, that's pennies, especially considering the fact that in basically an identical lawsuit, dominion was able to get more than $700 million from Fox News, right? That's the amount you settled with Fox four. Why are you low balling it with Newsmax 67 million less than a 10th of what you got from Fox? I don't know. I, I know I said this was good news, but I don't feel like that's good.

I, I I think y'all could have gotten more. You definitely would've won the lawsuit if you'd taken it to trial. I don't know how much the jury would've awarded you out of what you're asking, but you would've won. So, you know, I'm not, not exactly pleased with the amount, but I am pleased that after nearly five years, we're finally starting to get some resolution to this because I think that's something that a lot of people have almost forgotten about. It's not just Donald Trump's lies about the 2020 election and the insurrection. Those were obviously the biggest points of it, but this company, dominion Voting Systems, along with Smart Matt, the voting company, um, they were trashed to Helen back on all of these conservative outlets, and that is why they filed these lawsuits. Both, uh, companies filed lawsuits against all of these networks and several other individuals, but those lawsuits were filed in like 2021.

Folks, the defamation occurred in 2020 lawsuits filed in 2021, and here we are four years later for a simple defamation lawsuit just now getting a settlement. Why have we not had trials yet? I mean, think about that for a second. Mike Lindell, the MyPillow guy being sued by Dominion and smart, mad, we're we, we haven't even had a trial four years later. We have not had a trial all over four years at this point. What in the hell is taking so long? It's not like this is a product liability trial or a criminal trial where you have to gather the evidence, you have to talk to the experts, you have to do all of these crazy things. This is defamation.

I have seen defamation lawsuits filed and resolved in seriously a matter of weeks sometimes. So the fact that we are now over four years into this, and I do feel like the court system, they're the ones kind of slow walking. This they's unacceptable to me. These companies deserve their right to go to trial and hold these people accountable. And so far through a little bit of, you know, shenanigans through the lawyers for the defendants, but also the court system just being slow as hell, these companies, smart mannequin dominion, are being denied that justice. And that's not okay with me. These cases should have been resolved years ago, years ago, but for some reason we've only had two resolutions, and that's because in both cases, Fox and Newsmax Dominion agreed to a settlement. That's not how justice is supposed to work in the United States. These cases should have been over done with in the history books years ago.
